The writer has taken for his special theme the words used by Saint Paul in his sermon on Mars Hill," The unknown God"-words which the great apostle applied also to the spiritual Zeus of the ancient Greeks. The aim is to show the ancient belief of mankind in the unknown God, and that the great Father of all has granted his inspirations to many of very different countries and tribes and races. The volume is in some respects a search for the footprints of the Divine Being on the shifting sands of remote history. Bradbury, Mrs. L. A.

The story is told autobiographically. The stages of an academician's life are pictured in a quaint philosophical style that is in itself a charm. From early childhood to the time of romance the transit is rapid. A peculiar incident shatters this dream, and the hero passes to a soberer age, in which he has renounced all but his beloved books. At this time he attempts to help a young girl. The consequences of this involve him in what is called "The crime of Sylvestre Bonnard."
